WORT 89.9FM Madison · Federal Regulations Put the Squeeze On Cannabis Market In 2018, Congress passed the omnibus Farm Bill, which included changes to how the federal government regulates the plant cannabis sativa L., otherwise known as hemp.  While attempting to remove only industrial hemp from the federal Controlled Substances list, the legislation's wording – apparently inadvertently – also deregulated a wide variety of cannabis compounds that have mild psychoactive properties.  The loophole resulted in an enormous boom in THC and CBD products, becoming a multi-billion dollar industry by 2020.  In 2025, Congress passed an emergency budget bill to end a long shutdown.  That later bill included language that will close the THC loophole by November 2026, making the sale of THC products illegal under federal law once again.  Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers recently wrote to Wisconsin's congressional delegation urging Congress to delist THC products, citing the economic boom the market has provided to consumers and farmers alike. Cam Newberry is a co-owner of Dank of America, a cannabis product retail store on Madison's Williamson Street, and he joined the Monday Buzz on March 9, 2026.

Propofol may not be federally classified as a controlled substance—but that doesn't mean it's low risk.In this Diversion Insights Quick Take from Rxpert Solutions, we explore why propofol remains one of the most challenging medications from a diversion prevention and security perspective. Despite its non-controlled status, propofol presents serious vulnerabilities related to storage, access, and waste disposal that healthcare facilities cannot afford to ignore.In this episode, we discuss:Why propofol's regulatory status creates a false sense of securityThe three U.S. states that classify propofol as a controlled substanceReal-world storage and waste challenges that increase diversion riskWhy every facility—regardless of state law—needs a clear propofol strategyShort, focused, and practical, this episode highlights how regulatory gray areas can hide some of the biggest risks in medication security.More from Rxpert Solutions: https://www.rxpert.solutions/?utm_source=spotify&utm_medium=quick-take&utm_campaign=propofol

Ostap Ukrainets was born in 1994 in Kalush, Ivano-Frankivsk in western Ukraine. He graduated from the National Kyiv-Mohyla University with BA and MA degrees in comparative literature. He made his debut as a writer in 2017 with the novel "Malchut", which was hailed the "debut of the year" by Village magazine. Since then, his novels „Trance” and „Crusade Chancellery” were well received by readers. Ostap writes in the genre of historical and peculiar fiction, often referring to cultural heritage and history of anecdotes. He lives in Lviv. Of his four novels, three are dedicated to historical events and explore Ukrainian identity through the prism of postcolonial and trauma studies. A year before the invasion, he opened a publishing house specializing in humanities with his wife and their colleague.----------The Steel Porcupine https://www.thesteelporcupine.com/I'm proud to say that this series of ‘Ukrainian advent' interviews is supported by The Steel Porcupine – a unique and powerful film about a country that refuses to lie down, a people who turned themselves into a fortress of needles when Russian tanks rolled in. The Steel Porcupine is an unforgettable cinematic experience that exposes Russia's campaign of extermination in Ukraine, and the Ukrainian people's spirit to resist and prevail. It follows soldiers, volunteers and people who decided that survival meant resistance, not submission.Created by the makers of the acclaimed To the Zero Line, this is another film about humanity, that clearly states there is no such thing as neutrality when war crimes are being committed systematically by Russia, and on a scale in Europe only comparable to World War Two. Set to a haunting soundtrack featuring music by Philip Glass, and blending rare archival footage with original material, it is an impactful work of art and storytelling, as well as being informative.----------WORKS NOMINATED BY: Ostap Ukrainets BOOKSMaik Yohansen - Dr. Leonardo's Journey to Sloboda Switzerland with his Future Lover, the Beautiful AlcestaIvan Nechuy-Levytskyi - The CloudsFILMSSergei Parajanov - Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors (1965)Borys Ivchenko - The Lost Letter (1972)Viktor Ivanov - Chasing Two Hares (1961)WORKS OF ARTYakiv Yakovych HnizdovskyDavid Chichkan----------LINKS:https://willadecjusza.pl/en/ostap-ukrainets-ostap-ukrayinets-1https://lareviewofbooks.org/contributor/ostap-ukrainets/https://www.instagram.com/ukrostap/https://bookforum.ua/en/participants/9131https://lareviewofbooks.org/short-takes/dont-touch-my-corner-the-war-from-ivano-frankivsk/----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN 12 Events in 12 months - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur first live events this year in Lviv and Kyiv were a huge success.

Between 1997 and 2011, opioid dispensing in the United States more than tripled, fueling what would become the deadliest drug epidemic in American history. This surge in the supply of opioids was concentrated among a small subset of doctors: roughly 1 percent of the doctors who prescribed opioids accounted for almost 50 percent of all domestic opioid doses prescribed. In a paper in the American Economic Journal: Economic Policy, author Adam Soliman examined what happened when federal authorities cracked down on "rogue" doctors who overprescribed opioids.  He found that removing a single doctor from the opioid supply chain reduced county-level dispensing by 10 percent, with no negating increases in neighboring areas. Yet these interventions came with a trade-off—while overall drug mortality declined, heroin overdoses increased by 50 percent, likely as a result of existing users seeking alternatives.  Soliman recently spoke with Tyler Smith about how he untangled these complex enforcement effects and what his findings mean for combating drug epidemics that begin in the legal pharmaceutical market.

Controlled substance waste doesn't just impact budgets — it creates a significant and measurable burden on pharmacy teams, workflows, and staffing capacity.In this episode of Rxpert Solutions, we welcome back John Hertig and Les Louden to discuss their newest study:“Assessing Pharmacy Costs of Intravenous Push Controlled Substance Waste in Hospital-Based Areas: A Multi-Site Study”Published in the journal Pharmacy (2025).This study is the first to quantify the pharmacy workforce costs associated with IV push controlled substance waste. It builds on years of research from John and Les, offering one of the most complete pictures to date of how waste impacts hospitals operationally and financially.If you've followed their previous studies, this episode connects all the dots — revealing the true scope of waste and why it matters for every hospital in the U.S.Thanks to our sponsor: MIDAS Healthcare SolutionsLearn more about how MidasVIEW™ safeguards patient and caregiver safety while driving compliance in controlled substance waste management: https://midashs.com/More from Rxpert Solutions: https://www.rxpert.solutions/

John Goglia, Todd Curtis, and Greg Feith discuss the details of a fatal R44 helicopter crash in Australia that involved a pilot who had been drinking and had suspected mental health issues. The pilot took off without permission and made several low-level passes over the city before crashing into a hotel. The ATSB accident investigation report included a detailed analysis of the flight and of the helicopter wreckage, but didn't provide details as to the level of the pilot's intoxication, the pilot's mental fitness or witness statements that may have shed some light on the pilot's state of mind.Greg discusses how flight instructors evaluate their students for changes in personality that may be a sign of an underlying problem. John shared his own experiences with maintenance professionals whose personal issues impacted their work.They examine this accident to understand how mental health issues may lead to behaviors that cause crashes. Investigations that look at effects of alcohol and other substances and what pilots did in the 72 hours leading up to an event can provide critical insight.The episode ends with a call to action: friends and coworkers should ask anyone they know who seems to be struggling about how they are doing and give them a chance to talk. And, if the situation gets worse, do what you must do to keep that person safe.

Doctor in America, pushing addictive pills, The arrest and prosecution. Special Episode. In the ongoing battle against America's opioid epidemic, few cases have rocked the justice system as hard as the arrest and prosecution of Dr. Stan Xuhui Li, one of the deadliest pill-pushing doctors in U.S. history. At the heart of this historic case was former New York County Assistant District Attorney Charlotte Bismuth, whose relentless pursuit of justice helped bring down a man who had been exploiting the medical profession for profit, at the cost of human lives. This episode of The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast now streaming on for free on their website, in addition to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most major social podcast platforms. “It wasn't just about illegal prescriptions,” said Bismuth. “This was about a doctor in America, pushing addictive pills for cash, fully aware his patients were dying.” The episode is also promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other platforms. The Start of a Historic Case In 2010, Bismuth, a young assistant district attorney, had just joined the Office of the Special Narcotics Prosecutor (OSNP) in New York City. That same year, a whistleblower's tip exposed suspicious activity at a Queens pain clinic run by Dr. S. Li. What followed was a sprawling investigation that would stretch over four years. Doctor in America, pushing addictive pills, The arrest and prosecution. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . Bismuth, alongside a Senior Investigator and another Special Assistant DA, worked tirelessly to trace the damage caused by Li's clinic. According to investigators, Dr. Li was seeing over 70 patients a day, mostly on Saturdays, and trading prescriptions for cash. He routinely prescribed powerful opioids like oxycodone and anti-anxiety drugs like Xanax with little to no medical evaluation. Even when warned by emergency room doctors and families that his patients were dying, Dr. Li refused to stop. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. “We had evidence that patients were overdosing, yet the prescriptions continued,” Bismuth shared in an episode of her podcast, now available on Apple, Spotify, and other platforms. “The public deserved accountability. These were real lives lost to greed.” Doctor in America, pushing addictive pills, the arrest and prosecution. The investigation culminated in Dr. Li's arrest in November 2011. Over the next three years, Bismuth and her team built a case that would change legal precedent. In 2014, after a grueling four-month trial, a Manhattan jury found Dr. Li guilty on 198 counts, including Manslaughter in the Second Degree, Reckless Endangerment, and Criminal Sale of a Prescription for a Controlled Substance. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. The court heard that Li was responsible for recklessly causing the deaths of at least two patients and endangering several more. He had even prescribed 24 different prescriptions to the man behind the infamous Medford pharmacy massacre. Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget Brennan called the case a “landmark conviction.” It was the first time a doctor in New York State had been held criminally liable for overdose deaths stemming from prescription drugs. You can listen to his stories and interview on our website for free in addition to platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and other major podcast platforms. A Voice for Justice After the trial, Bismuth continued her advocacy. She was named Director of Training for the OSNP, where she emphasized ethics, family-work balance, and respect within the legal profession. In 2015, she stepped away from law to spend time with her family and to write the full story of the case. Doctor in America, pushing addictive pills, The arrest and prosecution. Her acclaimed book, Bad Medicine: Catching New York's Deadliest Pill Pusher, dives deep into the trial and the human cost of the opioid crisis. A second book, Killer in a White Coat, further explores the systemic failures that allowed him to operate for years. The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. “Writing the book was painful, but necessary,” Bismuth said in an interview shared across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and X. “This is about accountability. About telling the truth. About never forgetting the victims.” She donates a portion of her book proceeds to the FedUp! Coalition, and continues to speak out about the opioid epidemic, sharing her story through news media and podcast appearances. A Wake-Up Call for the Medical World, Doctor in America, pushing addictive pills, The arrest and prosecution. Listen to her full interview on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website for free, also on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or most major podcast platforms. Dr. Li's case is more than just a cautionary tale, it's a spotlight on how the healthcare system can be manipulated by those who abuse its trust. Charlotte Bismuth's dogged pursuit of justice reminds us that one doctor in America pushing addictive pills can destroy countless lives, and that prosecution is sometimes the only way to stop the damage. “Justice took years. But we owed it to the victims and their families,” Bismuth said. “We cannot allow the white coat to shield criminal behavior.” Dr. Li died in prison in April 2020, serving a sentence for crimes that shocked New York and made headlines across the nation. His case remains a stark reminder of the consequences when medicine turns deadly. Doctor in America, pushing addictive pills, The arrest and prosecution.

In this Diversion Insights Quick Take, I examine an intriguing comment I heard recently while discussing missing medications with a client. New nurse hires from across the country consistently express surprise at how seriously this facility takes controlled substance management compared to their previous workplaces. Join me for this 5-minute discussion about what this reveals about the inconsistency in hospital protocols nationwide and why robust controlled substance oversight should be the standard, not the exception.

Find out why Dr. Wang and Dr. Kelly are calling for urgent policy changes and how updated guidelines can support effective pain management. Join us for a compelling discussion on the intersection of chronic pain and substance use disorders with insights from Dr. Linda Wang, Medical Director of CEI's Hepatitis C and Drug User Health Center, and Dr. Lauren Kelly, a geriatrician and palliative care provider at Mount Sinai. We explore the complex case of a 62-year-old woman who, after decades of sobriety, began experiencing severe, undiagnosed pain. Despite numerous consultations and non-opioid treatments, her pain remained unmanaged, leading her to self-medicate with heroin. We discuss the significant barriers she faced in seeking appropriate care, including the reluctance of prescribers to provide methadone due to her history of opioid use disorder. Dr. Wang and Dr. Kelly discuss the importance of understanding patients' substance use patterns and the benefits of treatments like methadone and buprenorphine for stability and safety. We also cover non-opioid treatments such as physical therapy, acupuncture, and emerging modalities like scrambler therapy. The conversation emphasizes addressing the psychological aspects of pain and tackling the pervasive issue of stigma that impacts patients' access to necessary treatments. Finally, we delve into the critical issue of prescribing controlled substances to individuals with a history of addiction, shedding light on the gaps in current guidelines and the stigma within the healthcare system. Dr. Wang and Dr. Kelly stress the need for updated guidance to support chronic pain patients with substance use disorder, advocating for compassionate, individualized care.

Today, people across New Orleans and all of Louisiana are remembering Sybil Morial, who died this week at 91. While often remembered as the wife of New Orleans' first Black mayor, Dutch Morial, and mother to two-term mayor, Marc Morial, she was also a civil rights icon in her own right. The Times Picayune/The Advocate's Stephanie Grace tells us about Morial's role in fighting discrimination at universities, advocating for voter registration, and her family's history in the New Orleans area.Misoprostol is a life-saving drug, often used to stop postpartum hemorrhaging. But last May, Gov. Jeff Landry signed legislation to reclassify the drug as a “controlled and dangerous substance.” On Oct. 1t, the law will take effect.The Louisiana Illuminator's Lorena O'Neil tells us why doctors and pharmacists are concerned as they look for new ways to treat hemorrhages without breaking the law. While Louisiana's electoral votes have gone to the Republican presidential candidate in every election since 2000, not every Republican in the state always votes on party lines – at least not anymore. The organization, Republican Voters Against Trump represents GOP party supporters from across the country who have vowed not to cast ballots for Trump in November's elections. ___ Stan Foster of Covington and Eric Brownfield of Denham Springs, are members of the organization. They tell us why they are not backing Trump this time around – and why they're going public with their decision. Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by [host].

What do peaches and the FMCSA Safety program have in common. You'll have to listen to find out, but I will tell you, understanding the low hanging fruit principle can help you stay out of hot water with the FMCSA. We cover a lot in this first episode of a two part series on the FMCSA Safety program. It can be tempting to neglect safety, especially when you are struggling to survive in a tough market. However, failing to manage your safety and your FMCSA scores can sink your company faster than low freight rates. Listen to the episode as Craig and I share some great tips when it comes to safety. What To Expect From Episode 160 BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front), If you want to have good CSA scores, be safe, maintain your vehicles, obey traffic laws, and don't break the hours of service rules. With that being said, we give a lot of tips about what the CSA scores are, how they are calculated, and some of the best practices to keep them low. Lower is better. Here is an outline of what we cover. What Are CSA Scores Most Motor Carriers receive scores in 7 Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories, which wrapped up in a nice little acronym called BASICs. The categories are: Unsafe Driving 65% Crash Indicator 65% Hours-of-Service Compliance 65% Vehicle Maintenance 80% Controlled Substance 80% Hazardous Materials Compliance 80% Driver Fitness 80% Insurance and Other (This one isn't really scored, it's more like pass or fail) The percentages are the thresholds, we explain those during the episode. How You Get Your CSA Score The simple answer to this question is they come from interventions with the FMCSA/DOT Officers. Those can be anything from roadside inspections to an audit. Most inspections occur at Ports of Entry or because of an inspection that happens when a driver is pulled over for a moving violation or obvious vehicle maintenance issue. One of the biggest contributors to the number of inspections you get is your ISS Score (Inspection Selection System). You can check your score and a lot of other important things regarding your company's history with the FMCSA by logging into their system here. Understanding The Scoring System The scoring process is a bit complicated. I am going to over simplify it, but here is the general idea. Every time you are inspected your company receives a score. If there is a violation, you get bad points. If the inspection report is clean, you get good points. The formula the FMCSA uses basically divides the bad points by the good points. If you have more good points than bad, your resulting "measure" will be less than one. If you have more bad points than good points, your "measure" will be higher than one. Good inspections will give you more good points and lower your "measure". Your "measure" is then compared to all the other fleets that are roughly your same size. If you are right in the middle, meaning half the companies have a "measure" lower than yours and half the companies have a "measure" higher than yours, your BASIC score will be 50%. If you are in the top 10%, your score will be 10%, etc. Every BASIC has a threshold, if you are above the threshold you are going to be on the FMCSA's radar. You just became low hanging fruit, if you don't know what that means, listen to the episode. If you really want to nerd out and dive deep into the methodology and calculations, you can learn a lot by clicking on this link and reading the document. Understanding The Consequences Of Your CSA Scores There are several things that happen if your CSA Score exceeds the threshold. You are going to get a letter from the FMCSA saying you need to behave and do better Your ISS Score is going to increase and your are going to get inspected more, when that happens, most scores get even worse If your score stays elevated for a while or if you exceed the threshold in multiple categories, you are way more likely to be audited, that's when the fun really begins Most audits result in a Safety Rating, either Satisfactory, Conditional or Unsatisfactory. In part two of the series we will talk about what happens if you get a bad safety rating or if the FMCSA tells you that you need to complete Corrective Action Plan.

Knock, knock! If the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is already at your door, it may be too late. Enforcement is on the rise, and the microscope is fixed on controlled substances.

Gov. Jeff Landry signed a first-of-its-kind law Friday that designates common pregnancy medications as “controlled dangerous substances” in Louisiana. The law easily passed the legislature last week and takes effect October 1. Reproductive health reporter Rosemary Westwood tells us why hundreds of local physicians have argued that the law could endanger women's health. The Louisiana Supreme Court recently struck down a 3-year “look-back window” for sexual abuse survivors to file legal claims. Sophie Hayssen is a reporter and fellow at Mother Jones covering the ruling. She tells us why some abuse survivors are devastated by the ruling.For the first time in more than two centuries, two broods of periodic cicadas are expected to emerge from the ground at the same time. Brood XIX is on a 13-year cycle, while Brood XIII is on a 17-year cycle. The last time they lined up was 1803. But scientists have noted the last time Brood XIX emerged in 2011, there were no recorded sightings in Louisiana, meaning it could be extinct in the region. Aaron Ashbrook, an assistant professor at LSU's Entomology Department, joins us to explain what this all means. ___Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Karen Henderson.

A bill that would restrict access to abortion pills has been signed into law in Louisiana. The law reclassifies the drugs as a controlled substance, grouping them with Xanax and Valium. Possession without a prescription from a specially licensed doctor could be punishable by 5 years in prison.

LSD has been banned in the United States for decades and became a Schedule 1 Controlled Substance in 1970, but it has experienced a resurgence among Silicon Valley entrepreneurs to overcome mental roadblocks and psychiatrists running tests to use it as a treatment for addiction, PTSD, and other mental illnesses. But what few know is that LSD has its origins in Nazi Germany.The drug was developed in Switzerland in 1943 and quickly acquired and militarized by the Third Reich. The Nazis coopted LSD for their mind control military research—research that the US was desperate to acquire. This research birthed MKUltra, the CIA's notorious brainwashing and psychological torture program during the 1950s and 1960s.Today's guest is Norman Ohler, author of “Tripped: Nazi Germany, the CIA, and the Dawn of the Psychedelic Age.” We discuss:·    How the history of LSD is interwoven with that of the Cold War and its arms race, and how the US government's introduction to LSD through Nazi research influenced much of the federal government's early attitudes around it·    How, in addition to LSD's militarized misconception from the Nazis, there were other areasof US drug policy influenced by the Third Reich for over half a century·    How psychedelic research was marginalized and stigmatized for so long by prohibition and the War on Drugs, and how high the hurdles remain today for approval of psychedelic medicine, despite the opportunities—rather than dangers—they represent

Louisiana looks to be the first state in the nation to classify mifepristone and misoprostol as controlled substances.

Hundreds of doctors across Louisiana are asking lawmakers not to pass a bill that would make abortion medications controlled substances in Louisiana. They've signed an opposition letter to Republican state Senator Thomas Pressly, the bill's main sponsor.  Reporter Rosemary Westwood joins the show to update us on the proposal and opposition to it.  Nearly half the natural gas pulled out of the ground in the U.S. gets exported overseas, and that number could get even higher over the next decade.  A new report out of the Bullard Center for Environmental and Climate Justice criticizes federal regulators for allowing the rapid growth of the industry without scrutinizing the impact to historically marginalized communities nearby nor its contribution to climate change.

The Biden administration will move Tuesday to reclassify marijuana as a lower-risk substance, a historic move that acknowledges the medical benefits of the long-criminalized drug and carries broad implications for cannabis-related research and the industry at large. The US Department of Justice is expected to recommend that marijuana be rescheduled as a Schedule III controlled substance, a classification shared by prescription drugs such as ketamine and Tylenol with codeine. “The DOJ continues to work on this rule. We have no further comment at this time,” an administration official said Tuesday.

Today, we embark on a journey into the heart of some very challenging and critical issues within the anesthesia profession. Our goal is to shed light on the often-overlooked topics of "Second Victim Anesthesia Providers," the clandestine world of "Diversion of Controlled Substances," and the poignant struggle against "Substance Use Disorders." While today's episode may be somber at times, it is a testament to the importance of addressing these issues. We hope that by shedding light on these topics, we can contribute to the understanding and support of our anesthesia providers.   Here's some of what we discuss in this episode: The stress related to critical incidents can overwhelm even the most resilient individuals. Equipping yourself with the tools necessary to handle these unexpected challenges. The different stages of intervention. The briefing-debriefing model and how it's used. Why it's important for providers to feel comfortable with disclosure. PTSD and its implications for CRNAs. We explore the signs and behaviors associated with Substance Use Disorder.   Visit us online and get show resources here: https://beyondthemaskpodcast.com/   Get the CE Certificate here: https://beyondthemaskpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Beyond-the-Mask-CE-Cert-FILLABLE.pdf   Help us grow by leaving a review: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beyond-the-mask-innovation-opportunities-for-crnas/id1440309246

In this episode, we dive into the highly publicized indictment of Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden. From the charges laid against him to the collapse of his previous plea agreement, we unravel the legal complexities surrounding his case. Join us as we analyze the potential defenses, including a surprising Second Amendment argument, and examine the political backdrop against which this indictment unfolds. Stay tuned as we shed light on what this indictment means for Hunter Biden's future and the implications it holds for American politics. Here are the three key takeaways from the episode:1️⃣ Hunter Biden is facing three felony charges related to gun possession and his gun purchase. He allegedly lied on a federal form when purchasing a gun, stating that he was not using controlled substances when he actually was. Additionally, he was in possession of a firearm when he shouldn't have been allowed to.2️⃣ The plea agreement that was previously in place fell apart in open court. Part of the agreement included a pretrial diversion program, which would have allowed Hunter Biden to avoid prosecution on these gun-related charges. However, the judge expressed concern about the structure of the plea deal, and the Department of Justice couldn't reach an agreement with Hunter Biden's defense team.3️⃣ Hunter Biden may present two key defenses. First, he may argue that the pretrial diversion agreement still remains in effect and should be honored. However, the Department of Justice maintains that it was never signed by a probation officer and is null and void. Second, Hunter Biden may claim protection under the Second Amendment, arguing that the law prohibiting certain drug users from possessing a gun violates his rights.Follow Our Host:On Twitter @LevinsonJessica
